Creative, Arts-Based, and Visual Methods for December 2022
Research Goes Beyond Words!
We have spent the month of November focused on words, as part of Academic Writing Month. While committing words to paper is essential, research can involve forms that go beyond words. As multimodal researcher Günter Kress (2003) observed: “The world told is a different world to the world shown.” In December 2022 our focus is on creative, arts-based, and visual methods for both qualitative and quantitative research. We will explore a full range of styles, from collecting existing film or video, photographs, artwork, graphics, or artifacts to generating of visual or creative responses with participants.
You will hear from researchers who are using a variety of emerging approaches. We will feature SAGE authors Gillian Rose, author of a new edition of Visual Methodologies, and Anne Nassauer and Nicolas M. Legewie, co-authors of Video Data Analysis.
